Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.
Luke 23:32
Marched up Calvary’s hill
carrying a cross He did not deserve
weighted with sins not His own
the Man of Sorrows, come here to serve
On that dark day, not alone
a criminal on either side
Friend of sinners, by evil surrounded
the Lord of Glory now crucified
Jesus, what did You do
to receive such scorn in Your humility?
Condemned by all for our transgressions
dying to bring peace in eternity
You are perfect, spotless Lamb of God
we are guilty sinners… every one
yet by Your merciful shed blood
our redemption and adoption are now done
God made Him Who knew no sin
to be sin for us… criminals at either hand
so now in Jesus forgiven and free
we can proclaim His grace in every land
He knew no sin, but He knew us
and on the cross we were on His heart
so what was once enmity with God
would become family in Christ… no more apart
Praise to Jesus Who knew no sin!
Praise to the Lamb Who was slain!
Praise to the Lord, risen from the dead!
Seated at the hand of the Father to reign!
Two criminals died with Jesus that day
guilty of their sin with no defense
one mocked a Savior on the cross
the other believed and Jesus covered his offense
Jesus knew no sin, our Savior friend
yet even dying, He forgave a thief
How much more should we trust in Him
to find mercy, and our soul’s relief?
